Texas, Wisconsin, SMU, Penn State are the top offenders. Nebraska has been an unethical program forever. Kentucky probably just got tired of the pillaging and decided to join in. Pitt and Louisville? Probably. Wisconsin is without a doubt the worst. They are even going after high school...

Because, even given my constant wailing and my soiled diaper, I wasn't born yesterday. These players are being contacted and persuaded to transfer. It's not everyone, but there are at least five programs actively recruiting from other team's rosters. No doubt it is more than that. All it ever...

The issue isn't so much the Gophers as it is how good the rest of the B1G is. And with so many of the programs actively cheating? How do you expect to compete? I'll keep saying this until I'm blue in the face: the Gophers BEST chance at competing at an elite level is if Stella is elite herself...

Agreed but volleyball was never like that. And it's still not as bad but they need some restrictions if they expect loyal fans. This has nothing to do with the quality of the volleyball being played. There were many great matches in the tournament. It has to do with being a loyal fan of a...

I see Sheffield is stealing recruits now. How can anyone support that program without taking a shower 4x daily?

Again, it doesn't matter HOW you win, just win? Anyhow, rumor is they have two transfers.

So winning is the most important thing?

Well if that's your tone I'll reply in kind. Is winning the only thing that matters to you? How you win doesn't even enter it? Sorry. I don't want to take the Texas or PSU route. Also, please stop with the strawmen. There are extremes. I vote for somewhere in the middle, but the fewer...

I will say that all these players' situations are unique. I know that. I wouldn't want to make a blanket statement about them. But hard passes on Hudson and Chicoine.

Hudson is a one year player. Shopping for a championship. No thanks. We are better than that. That is Badger ball. If this changes, I am no longer a Gopher fan. The only player who was only going to play one year was Aloweye and she played two. We also had to replace Booth (don't get me started...

I don't cheer for the uniform and I don't cheer for STARTERS who jump ship unless there's a darn good reason for it. So you're OK with bringing in transfers over your recruits? What are we, Badger fans?

We don't need any more OHs, especially not ones with dubious character.

Tough, tough job

My lineup: Stella setting Hanson and Wenaas on the outside, Wucherer if healthy Landfair on the right (always thought that would be her best position -- will she play there in 2025 for the Huskers?) Booth and Minatee in the middle Choboy as libero Z as primary DS (but do they have her if they...

And this all started with a comparison to Babcock. But it's all OK. I said it was controversial. I've been wrong before and will be again. It's just my opinion, as a 35-year fan of Gopher volleyball and volleyball in general.

Want a list? Jackson, Berg, Dedecker, Branagh, Bauer, SSS, Hart, Nelson, Gentil, Peniata, Wilhite, Harms, Gibbemeyer, VanderWell, Pittman, Martin ... the list goes on and on. All of them had their flaws, mind you, but they were not overrated. Again, THAT is my argument. Samedy was not as good...

It does. It's part of my statement. The most overrated AA. Not the most overrated player. She was good, sometimes great. But she was inconsistent and had a terrible final year. Her pro career backs me up on this, I think. Now, maybe it was the setting, but I don't think so. We have had so many...

Controversial opinion. Samedy was the most overrated AA ever to play for the Gophers AND she hurt the development of other players. Not her fault. But making her the focus of the offense did not work, imo.

Minnesota's problems went way beyond Landfair, but I'm not sure she would have made them competitive. Now add Landfair, Booth, Chaboy and Wenaas and maybe. IF they wanted to be here. It does mean you probably don't have Grote and Aloweye, and Hanson doesn't get to shine. Which is a good thought...

Love the decision to go with the endline view but why the hell can't the director get the crane out of the way? It's simple. If the crane is in the shot, use the crane shot instead.
